VIMACHEM-FOAM 20kg- Foam for production of cellular mortar

81.04075
MPN: 001016020
Price €68.60

VIMACHEM FOAM is a foaming aqueous solution that is used to create foam with the help of a special foam machine.

  • This foam is mixed with cement paste (0.5-0.6 kg water per kg of cement) in a special mixer and thus a cellular mortar is obtained, also called "foam- or lightweight concrete", although it does not contain aggregate.
  • VIMACHEM FOAM is not intended for use as an aerated additive in load-bearing concrete elements.
  • It can be classified in mortar aerators according to EN 934-3.

Appearance: Liquid
Colour: Dark brown
PH value: 11-12 (20 ° C) ISO 4316
Density: 0.999-1.020 Kg / lt ISO 758-1976
Dry residue: 12-14% EN 480-8
Mixability with water: Excellent

Vimachem-foam introduces a controlled amount of air into the fresh concrete in the form of tiny bubbles, which are evenly distributed without creating a communication network between them.

This property greatly improves the properties of the concrete in the case of both fresh and hardened concrete:

Raw concrete:

  • Very significant improvement in workability, even in cases of large volume concrete, where the mixture includes brittle and large aggregate
  • No change in cement setting time (start and finish)
  • Increased internal cohesion, while reducing separation and mixing
  • Improvement of permeability Hardened concrete:
  • Increased frost resistance
  • Increased tightness
  • Resistance to agglomerates
  • Increased durability Physicochemical properties
